"They are our bothers and sisters" Why zapatismo matters to independent labour in Mexico - 2005

In this paper I seek to illuminate the bases upon which the Mexican independent labour movement and the indigenous zapatista movement have been able to engage in a poltics of accompaniment, politics based on mutual respect ans support without sacrificing autonomy or difference. I examine how this intersection emerged, the grounds that make its possible, and the significane of such an intersection for the Zapatistas and independent labour.
